Answer:

The numbers are 9, 19 and 76.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take the second number and make it a variable, like x. Now let's find all the other numbers in terms of x.

The first number in terms of x:

x - 10

The second number in terms of x:

4x

If we add them all up, these 3 numbers in terms of x must be equal to 104, so:

x + (x - 10) + (4x) = 104 \\ x + x - 10 + 4x = 104 \\ 6x - 10 = 104 \\ 6x = 114 \\ x = 19

Now that we know the second number, we can find the other numbers since we already figured out their values in terms of x:

19 - 10 = 9

4 \times 19 = 76

The first number is 9, second number 19 and the third number 76.

Hello,

2x²+x-14=0
Δ=1+4*14*2=113

x=(-1-√113)/4=-2,8839...≈-2.88
or x=(-1+√113)/4=2,40753≈2.41

I have another question: I need to solve this problem - 3(7x-2) = 5(4x+5)-23
kodGreya [7K]

-3(7x-2) = 5(4x+5)-23

-21x + 6 = 20x + 25 - 23

-21x + 6 = 20x + 2

4 = 41x

x = 4/41 = 0.0976
